About Our Adult Foster Care Service
Finding the proper care for a loved one is a journey of trust. You’re looking for a solution that provides security, supports independence, and offers a true sense of belonging. The thought of an impersonal facility can be stressful, leaving families searching for a more personal, dignified alternative. We understand that you want more than just a service; you want a genuine, family-centered living experience for the person you care about.
Since 2014, Rivers of Hope has been a trusted adult foster care provider in Massachusetts, dedicated to creating supportive environments where individuals can thrive. Our mission centers on a unique shared living program that empowers family members to act as the primary caregivers, ensuring your loved one remains in a familiar, loving home.
Unlike traditional agencies, we do not employ or send outside staff into the home; instead, the family caregiver must live within the residence to provide continuous support. To ensure the highest quality of care, our team, including a registered nurse and experienced case managers, conducts regular home visits to provide professional oversight, resources, and guidance. This collaborative approach gives you the peace of mind that your loved one is safe and nurtured while remaining right where they belong: with family.

What is the Adult Family Care (AFC) Program?
The Adult Family Care (AFC) program is a specialized program designed to support Massachusetts residents who can no longer live alone safely. It is a premier community-based alternative to nursing homes or other facilities, allowing an elderly or disabled adult to live in a family home with monthly visits by a care manager. This model allows the individual to receive daily support while remaining in a comfortable and familiar setting with their loved ones.
Our AFC program addresses a wide range of needs, including:
- Personal Care Services: Hands-on assistance with activities of daily living.
- Companionship: Building genuine relationships to enhance emotional well-being.
- Meal Preparation: Ensuring nutritious and enjoyable meals every day.
- Management of Appointments: Assisting with scheduling and transportation.
